About this lesson

The viewer learns to ask a bank clerk to change money, using one simple sentence with a passport ready.

How to practise

  1. Learn the phrases on the first card: these are the lines you will say in the situation.
  2. When you see 你会怎么说?, answer out loud in your own words before the real line plays, then repeat it.
  3. Keep the phrasebook at the end: the phrases, what you will hear, and a tip for the real thing.
